How AI Helped To Migrate 37 Apps From Heroku To AWS Under 2 Hours

Migrating from Heroku to AWS presented challenges due to Heroku's limitations in scalability, cost, technical restrictions, and infrastructure control, prompting a startup to seek a more flexible and scalable solution. The startup leveraged Qovery's DevOps AI Migration Agent, which automated the migration of 37 applications in under two hours through a four-step process: application discovery, configuration transformation with AI, validation and auto-remediation, and delivery of ready-to-deploy configurations. This automation significantly reduced manual effort while ensuring a seamless migration by converting Heroku settings to AWS equivalents, validating configurations, and organizing deployment-ready files. Although the Migration Agent facilitated the creation of database instances on AWS, Qovery's Technical Account Managers assisted with the actual data transfer, ensuring a smooth transition. The migration resulted in lower costs, greater flexibility, and improved scalability, demonstrating the potential of automation to streamline complex migrations for startups aiming to scale beyond Heroku.
